Congresswoman Heather Wilson, First Congressional District of New Mexico

New Mexico is the state that has the highest percentage per capita of people with PhD`s than any other state. The tradition began with the many highly educated scientists and engineers employed by Los Alamos and Sandia laboratories, and continues because of the laboratories as well as technology or research-based businesses. Forbes Magazine recently named Albuquerque the best place in America to build a business based on low business costs and an educated workforce.
